Chapter 976: Blame Yourself
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Black Rose stared at her.
Sooner or later, she would be angered to death by Shen Qianshu!
Fang Hongxiu has indeed given birth to a daughter who has a totally different personality from herself.
“So, why do you hate Ghost City so much?” Shen Qianshu asked.
She’s just too curious.
Black Rose said, “Fang Hongxiu, Gu Chun, and I grew up together since we were young. When I was five, Fang Hongxiu and I were chosen by Black Rose. We trained together and became murderers. We were once companions who worked together and fought together. We were like sisters. When I was 13, we were both sent to Thailand to assist Black Rose on a mission. Due to some issues with the commands, I was badly injured. Fang Hongxiu decided to save Black Rose without hesitation and left me at the battlefield. She let me get captured by the group of evil hooligans.
“I was beaten up, raped, and insulted by them. Over ten of these men. Day and night. It was like a nightmare. I hated her every single moment of my life. Why did I turn around? I turned around to save her, yet she abandoned me to save a mentally ill person. We were sisters for so many years, and she had actually betrayed and abandoned me.

After she and Aventura reloaded their supplies, they turned around to save me, but eight days had passed. In these eight days, I was living in hell. Every breath I took was so that I could let her have a taste of her own medicine in the future. Even if she saved me, it could not make up for when she abandoned me.
Shen Qianshu felt a little sorry for her.
There were some details that she could imagine even if Black Rose did not say it.
A beautiful lady falling into the arms of a group of beasts. Nothing good could come out of it.
She was already very lucky to have made it out alive.
The real world was cruel.
“Why did she abandon you and save Aventura?”
Black Rose said, “Because I was injured and had lost my battle stamina. Aventura was only slightly hurt, and we were running out of supplies. If we all got kidnapped together, we would all be captured together in the end. Based on her calculations and judgments, she decided to give up on me. Fang Hongxiu had been a natural leader since young. A leader who is heartless and can abandon anything just to get her job done. I hate her. I hate that she betrayed me. She should have been the one who got captured back then.”
Shen Qianshu said, “Y-You...”
Black Rose’s eyes widened, and it was bloodshot red. Hatred filled her guts, and it was hard to get rid of.
“She said... that this was the best choice. As opposed to having all three people dying in there, she might as well sacrifice one person. Maybe all three of us could survive. However, she has no idea what I had been through as I never said it.” Black Rose laughed. “After being saved, I did not say anything, and they thought that I had only been punished or forced to speak up. Over the next few days, I let Fang Hongxiu and Aventura have a taste of it.”
“How do you think I knew that Aventura had a mental issue? Of course, I tortured her. Of course, I didn’t torture her personally. It’s just so easy to torture Aventura and her. We often went on missions together. As long as I leaked some things and give the target some information, I could make them lose and be defeated badly. I let them have a taste of everything I experienced.”
“You’re so evil!” Shen Qianshu said. Her eyes reddened. Her mother and Aventura were also beautiful young ladies back then.
“I’m evil? Who caused it?”
“Mom abandoned you because she had no choice. It was to complete the mission. It was for survival. Do you think she would give in and die with you, causing all three of you to die? She did not cause the tragedy deliberately. Yet, you did it on purpose,” Shen Qianshu said.
Black Rose’s mentality had long been twisted. Speaking more of it did not seem to hold any meaning for her.
“Indeed, I did that on purpose. So what? Fang Hongxiu is the silly one,” Black Rose said. “After being defeated several times, Aventura noticed something and had her guard up against me. Yet, Fang Hongxiu trusted me throughout the whole time, and she felt like she owed me something. She always prioritized my feelings first. If I wanted to kill someone, she would give me a gun straightforwardly. How kind! Afterward, Aventura cut all ties with us. Oh, I thought it was with us, but who knew? It was just with me. She was still on good terms with Fang Hongxiu. What a joke.
“Will I watch this with my own eyes and do nothing? Of course not. So, I tried all means to provoke them and let them turn against each other. One time, Aventura’s information was wrong, and it caused Fang Hongxiu to be trapped in enemy camp for 16 days. I can imagine what she experienced. When she came back.. Oh, she was really miserable. The palm of her hand was drilled. Two big holes were drilled! Her bones were broken. I shall not mention those about her body. Her knees were almost broken. I thought then that she and Aventura should have turned against each other.”

“Indeed, like I had wished for, their relationship was no longer like before. My heart softened, and I thought, forget it. They had learnt their lesson. That’s enough, and I am satisfied. But who knew that she had actually gotten together with Gu Chun?
“Gu Chun was my fiancé. We were arranged for child marriage since we were young. We grew up together, and we had a good relationship. Gu Chun and Fang Hongxiu had always hated each other and treated each other like nemeses. I never took it to heart. I thought that they just had incompatible personalities. Who knew? It was actually... flirtatious banter.”
Shen Qianshu interrupted her. “Nonsense! You talk bad about my parents around me. Ah Xi told me that my parents grew up together. They were on good terms the entire time, and he always loved her from the start. If he was a cheater, he would have loved someone else this whole twenty odd years. How could he be staying by my Mom’s side all this time?
“My mother can’t be the third party. It must be your wishful thinking. The relationship between the Gu Family and the Yang Family had always been tense. Just like me saying that Xiaojuan and I are pregnant. Then, we smile and say that we are married after giving birth to a daughter and a son. But this is a joke. Which cave did you escape from? You old antique... Marriage nowadays is based on personal preferences. You had a one-sided love for him. How is it my parents’ fault? How shameless.”
Black Rose stood up suddenly and slapped Shen Qianshu. “You, SHUT UP!”
Her words hit her right in the heart. Her embarrassment warped into anger. Shen Qianshu was not afraid even after being slapped. “Oh, you’re angry from the shame. Seems like I was right. Men don’t like you because you aren’t charismatic. It’s not anyone’s fault, you know?”
“If it weren’t for her being injured and acting pitiful, Gu Chun wouldn’t even get together with her. He should have married me.”
“Oh, but you were the one who caused it. You were their matchmaker.” Shen Qianshu showed an attitude that hinted that she wanted to anger her to death before she stopped provoking her. “Blame yourself.”
“Shen Qianshu, shut up.”
“Why must I?”
Black Rose’s chest rose and went downward again. The scars on her face were even scarier now.
